Responsible Development

How We Work

At Nexen, responsible development means working to meet growing consumer demand for energy by integrating health, safety, social, environmental and economic factors into our decision-making. This includes building relationships and listening to our employees and stakeholders who challenge us with good ideas on how we can improve our business and our community.

Economy. Environment. Society.

The three cornerstones of sustainability are solidly integrated in the way Nexen develops energy. We were one of the first companies in the upstream energy sector to report on our sustainability philosophy and performance, and we continue to be recognized for our responsible approach to developing oil and natural gas resources. We understand that economic growth and stability are the foundation of long-term value creation. We also believe careful stewardship of the environment and the creation and sharing of social benefits are vital aspects of an effective and credible sustainability practice.
